Subj: [kl] clarinet register exercise
Date: Sun, 9 Apr 2000 15:17:09 -0400

I am a non-clarinet playing band director in need of help with some advice
that my solo/ensemble contest judge gave me.

My clarinet players were having trouble getting from throat tone Bb to the
G above that. The G would always speak, but nearly a split second later
than the soloist wanted it to respond.

My judge told me to have the student play a regular D and have the student
play two overtones above that using the same fingering. By players are
trying in lessons, but we can't get anything but the D to speak. I know
this exercise works something with the direction of air, but I need help in
how to apply and work this exercise. Thanks!!
